Yep, that can be annoying and it wears the starter and flexplate out. Some GMs have a dash switch (an A with a circular arrow). If yours has it, you can turn Stop/Start off for that ignition cycle by pressing it each time; it re-enables next key-on by design.
Here is a quick hack that can work
At a stop, shift to L/Manual, tap + up to the highest gear (typically 6), then shift back to D. This prevents AutoStop until you shut the car off again.
Let us know how it goes.
